Dingell Delivers Valentines to Veterans

ANN ARBOR, Mich .- Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) today delivered handmade Valentine’s Day cards from local students across Southeast Michigan to veterans at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center and Lieutenant Colonel Charles S. Kettles Ann Arbor VA Medical Center. Since 2015, students across the region have made hundreds of cards each year to show love and appreciation to veterans, along with VA doctors, nurses, administrators, and staff. “A simple gesture of love and kindness goes a long way to make someone smile and brighten their day, especially on Valentine’s Day. It takes just a moment to remind our veterans that we care about them,” said Dingell. “Every year, students join us in showing our veterans how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice with handmade valentine cards.Several of the veterans asked me to thank the students for not forgetting them. One said, ‘this was the only Valentine I will get.’ This year, we also continued to recognize and thank our VA doctors, nurses, administrators, and staff who put their lives on the line to keep others safe. It’s one of my favorite parts of every year to see the outpouring of love and kindness students share with our veterans.” View all photos here .
